The team has been working diligently with their network to ensure they are building a product to serve not only the traveler, but all key stakeholders in the airport space: airports, airlines, travel retailers, restaurants, brands, etc.  So far it has been a hit, with several retailers and brands jumping onboard as partners during development and beta testing.  The app went live in the app store in 2014 and is currently refining technology and increasing capability with the expansion of beacon technology.
